That you did that in a confined space like that is all the more impressive. Nice job.

FAF week 1. Just got it in before the deadline😅. That mysto set is further than 4.0 hook for me.

Woohoo! Two entries for that El Mijo please!

After seemingly several hundred attempts at that lunar series, I finally went and grabbed an old wooden blackbird and stuck it within a couple tries. Stupid Butterflixie. :laughing:

Submission closed. Thanks everyone for participating next one will kick off around 9am Eastern today in a new thread and prize winners for week 1 will be announced by Monday if not earlier.

Need our resident bean counter to get back from vacay and confirm the numbers so we can ensure accuracy before passing off the drawing to a non participant to video the results for yall. Hopefully the following weeks we will have a quicker turnaround but life is busy and time is fleeting.

That’s the cut down hour session too.

Last minute struggle to land things. My specialty. Also figured I needed to do my signature move in yoyo. Lower the bar.

Hey if you set low to no expectations you occasionally surprise people or at minimum have nothing to stress about.

Is there a separate thread for week 2 or do we still post tricks here?

Thanks I found it.

Link to week 2

We will post here in week 1 once we announce winners.

Also while submissions are over if you really just want to show off you can do the week one tricks for kudos and such or validation then have at it.

I’m so surprised by the turn out so far. I couldn’t even imagine something like this being organized so well back when I first started throwing. I make it sound like I go way back lol. I started back in the small boom of the early 00’s. That’s almost 20 years ago now, jeez I feel old now. It’s an awesome feeling to see so many people coming together, having fun and encouraging each other.

I had a ton of fun pushing myself to learn some new stuff. That fun was definitely mixed with frustration trying to nail the Mysto Set before the deadline :upside_down_face: which I’m sure was felt by a lot of you too. I’d like to also extend the same offer some others have in the thread previously, if you can’t get a yoyo to use for whatever reason. I’d be happy to send you a Butterfly or Imperial so that you can participate also. Just send me a DM.

Looking forward to week 2! Give it your all!

I just can’t wait to see all of the free yo-yo offers during Modern Responsive March. I’m sure I’ll be taking people up on some of those. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Butterfly XT is an awesome modern responsive… Only $5 and I’ve literally seen them in every Target I’ve ever been to in the US.
